Thank you all so much for the replies! It is great to be involved in a retriever world where people can not only compete against one another but still be part of the party when another does well (:

It landed way out in some alfalfa, both the pointer and Delta were hunting for it, then the pointer found it and pointed the dead bird. Delta came right in, snatched the bird up right from under her nose and ran back to Larry. She was as proud as she could be of that bird. I could tell right then she would be a great dog.
Now little Lexus will be a great dog also. I think I can talk Larry into letting me shoot a flyer for her before we leave here. We are wintering in the same RV park as Larry and John Hollaway is my next door neighbor. John is looking forward to his pup.

Loved the story Steve, thanks for sharing it!
